ArmInfo. Before discussing the agenda at the meeting of Permanent and Plenipotentiary Representative of Armenia to CSTO Permanent Council Viktor Biyagov, presented the current situation as a result of the aggression  initiated by Azerbaijan against Artsakh along the entire length of  the Contact Line, the purposeful use of aviation against the civilian  population and civilian infrastructure and the provocative actions  that followed.

According to the RA MFA press service, Biyagov drew the attention of  his colleagues to the fact that the Azerbaijani aggression was  planned in advance, and at the same time expressed deep concern about  Turkey's unconditional support for Azerbaijan, which is nothing more  than an absolute violation of international law.

"Having refused peace negotiations, the Azerbaijani leadership chose  its own way of solving the Karabakh problem, unleashing a full-scale  war, as a result of which there are already many dead and wounded,  including among the civilian population, including women and  children. Of particular concern is Turkey's unconditional  military-political support to Azerbaijan, which contributes to the  further destabilization of the situation in the CSTO area of  responsibility and poses a serious threat to the peoples of the  region. Turkish military specialists are fighting in the ranks of the  armed forces of Azerbaijan, Turkish-made weapons are used, including  unmanned aerial vehicles and military aircraft. - CSTO member cannot  but cause our concern. We are determined to resist with all our might  to neutralize the intentions of this union, "the RA Representative  said.

The Permanent Representative of Armenia to the CSTO also touched upon  the disinformation spread this morning by the Ministry of Defense of  Azerbaijan, the purpose of which was to pave the way for the  escalation of the conflict and carry out aggression against Armenia.  "Expanding the geography of the conflict can create an immediate  threat to the security, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the  Republic of Armenia, and in this case we will use the appropriate  military-political mechanisms aimed at a collective response to  external aggression," he concluded.
